This was another of the uptempo songs Monica O’Brien suggested in a recent newsletter. It is in As One Voice for Kids but can also be purchased separately as sheet music. It has words by Maria Millward and the music is by Damian Halloran.
It’s is an energetic song with a message for all, not just children.
My backing is approximate:
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Say to others as you would have them say to you.
Think before you speak and act, we’re all God’s children that’s a fact,
So do to others as you would have them do to you.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Say to others as you would have them say to you.
Walk a while on others shoes, it’s easy then to always choose
To do to others as you would have them do to you.
Different eyes we have to see and different points of view.
With different hopes and different dreams for you and me for me and you.
Different gifts we have to share to help each other see,
That all of us must learn to care for each one in God’s family.
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Say to others as you would have them say to you.
Think before you speak and act, we’re all God’s children that’s a fact,
So do to others as you would have them do to you.
Walk a while on others shoes, it’s easy then to always choose
To do to others as you would have them do to you.
